All UW students and instructors can use the basic pool. Students currently enrolled in a engineering class for the quarter should have access to the ENGR pool which contains most of the engineering software.
Below is a list of all software installed on the VM pools for the current academic year. All available software may be found on the desktop or Start Menu. Software and Operating Systems are updated as needed throughout the year. Major updates such as yearly releases are typically installed over summer quarter.
